'' is a name of a
Concept Album by
King Diamond , the second part of the story begun on the album ''
"Them" ''. It was released in 1989 (see
1989 In Music ).
In this sequel to ''
"Them" '', an adult King returns to the House of Amon to reclaim his rightful place as
Heir to the house. However, unanswered questions about his sister's death, his mother's involvement with his diabolical therapist, and his own madness all prove to be difficult, if not insurmountable, obstacles.
He makes a deal with "Them", (the unseen antagonists from the album of the same name, part one of the story), to return control of the house to Them in exchange for the chance to see his now-dead sister Missy again. He believes she can help answer some of his questions. An agreement is reached, and Missy returns from the grave nightly to help King uncover some of the mysteries from ''"Them."'' As a spirit, however, she cannot save him from the plot against him, try as she may to warn him. His mother and his doctor have conspired to get rid of him permanently in order to inherit the house themselves. While they think they are ultimately successful, the album closes with King's promise to torture and haunt them forever from beyond the grave.
